Linux kernel source tree

When a new thread is created by a thread with GCS enabled the GCS needs to be specified along with the regular stack. Unfortunately plain clone() is not extensible and existing clone3() users will not specify a stack so all existing code would be broken if we mandated specifying the stack explicitly. For compatibility with these cases and also x86 (which did not initially implement clone3() support for shadow stacks) if no GCS is specified we will allocate one so when a thread is created which has GCS enabled allocate one for it. We follow the extensively discussed x86 implementation and allocate min(RLIMIT_STACK/2, 2G). Since the GCS only stores the call stack and not any variables this should be more than sufficient for most applications. GCSs allocated via this mechanism will be freed when the thread exits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
